Reality Check

So I was looking at Facebook earlier this evening and I noticed a status update from one of my friends. Well the author isn’t really a friend, and I probably should have included him in my latest Facebook cull, maybe next time? Anyway, his update was bemoaning the fact that he is at home alone on a Friday night.

Upon first reading it I thought “Well that’s not so bad, what’s wrong with you? I do that all the time. Get over yourself!”, then it started to dawn on me, what if he has the right idea and it’s me that’s getting it wrong? What if my familiar pattern of being alone at home on a Friday night, well most nights really, isn’t actually very healthy?

It should be noted however that the last time I felt this way, a few days before Christmas, I caught both strep throat and mono as reward for my adventures.
